SingLet: A Phonetically Optimized Reinvention of Letter-Name Solmization

The paper frames SingLet as a phonetically optimized system for one-to-one pitch-syllable mapping. The central goal is to preserve note-letter recognition while making chromatic note labels more systematic and easier to sing.

Publication status

To be published soon through ISME.

Main Author: Fuping Zhu. Co-Author: John Mo.

Key design goals include one-to-one pitch-syllable mapping, monogesture articulation, stable onset logic, and systematic rhymes for accidentals.

Key Ideas From The Paper

One-to-one mapping between pitch spellings and singable labels

Monogesture articulation rather than multi-word accidental naming

Stable onset logic that preserves note-letter recognition

Systematic rhyme changes to mark accidental direction and depth

Potential use in fixed-pitch pedagogy and absolute-pitch-oriented curriculum design

References And Future Materials

The full paper is being prepared for publication through ISME rather than distributed here as a direct site download.

Future references can include comparative context on letter names, fixed-do, movable-do, and chromatic ear-training methods.
